Columbia Grain International acquires pulse processing facility in Hastings, NE to launch its new consumer pulse brand
CGI continues its mission to safely cultivate high-quality crops from their local farmers that nourish the world with its newest venture in its Pulse Division.
Columbia Grain International (CGI), one of the largest processors and exporters of high-quality pulses in the United States, has commenced business in its newest location in Hastings, NE. The facility will be home to CGI’s first-ever small-pack pulse line for the consumer market. All products in the new line will be grown, procured, cleaned and processed by CGI for delectable pulses every family can trust, including peas, lentils, chickpeas, and dry beans.
The facility was built by Peavey in 1979 and acquired by CGI from Gavilon Grain. It has 286,000 bushels capacity with a 60,000 sq. ft. processing building. CGI anticipates processing over 50,000 MT of pulses per year at this location alone.
